Woody, unless the Smoking gestapo have corroborated evidence and/or photgraphs of you smoking in your cab its their word against you and in a court of law in Scotland corroboration and hard evidence is a must, unless they have this they have no case!

Good luck with it pal, i hate smoking with every bone in my body but for it to go this far is plain daft!

Ah, smoking...my pet hate...

I don't give a monkey's if grown ups want to smoke, as long as they do it away from me and away from any children.

BUT....I work with teenagers, and believe me, when you catch a 12 year old boy smoking to try and look 'cool' like the older kids - it's shocking. All the teens are now banned - even the over 16's. They have been told if they want to smoke, bring a written letter from their parents and I will be phoning to double check.

I also knew a young boy with bad asthma whose parents constantly smoked in the house. He died earlier this year from a massive asthma attack which caused his heart to fail.

So yeah...I hate smoking....

As a smoker for more than 50 years, I have to admit that I enjoy my wee ciggie, but have always tried to adopt a considerate manner towards non smoker and I would never smoke aroung young children.
Normally if I am entertaining guests whom I am not familiar with, I ask, in case someone has a chest complaint, if they would object. The usual answer is no, however an American friend was visiting and after dinner, (when I really love my ciggie) I asked politely if they minded. My friend said Not at all but her friend said, actually I do mind.
I went outside to the garden have my smoke, still taken aback by that. I do think my manners that evening were somewhat better than hers.
